BTS Sky train
What a relief for regular travellers this BTS sky train is regardless of the fare. But if you are running out of time, you won’t mind paying that much.
I find Bangkok’s BTS trains very efficient, fast, and reliable. The only thing is that there’s too much steps to climb because most stations have only one scalator going up. Well, it’s still worth using the train after all rather than getting stuck in the traffic jam.
The train started operating in 1999 on the king’s birthday, December 5. It’s really rapid transit that runs along two of the busiest roads in Bangkok, Sukhumvit and Silom. It’s good because our apartment was in one of the sub streets of Sukhumvit Road which is closed to one of the train stations.
